'RoboCop' plays on our anger. We're tired of insane headlines. There shouldn't be an empty seat in the theater.

Feeding Off Our Pent Up Frustration

The news gets worse every day. I'm afraid to open the paper anymore. I actually get a knot in my stomach when I pick up the NYT.

Lots of people feel that way and that's the zeitgeist 'RoboCop' plugs into, feeds off. Samuel L. Jackson's character sums it up tidily in this clip. People have been waiting years to see this movie.

RoboClop Cips, RoboCop Clips

RoboCop is looking refined, just like you'd expect from an expensive CGI-driven movie, however director José Padilha brings more polish and style than usual. The first clip is as good an example of contemporary movie shootout as you'll find, and the second clip creates an empathy for the protagonist while maintaining the same visual panache as the first clip. Both snippets have a fresh sci-fi zing.

Not bad. Flick is shaping up must-see.
